摘要：

AlgZ controls Pseudomonas aeruginosa alginate synthesis by activating algD, yet algZ expression is not detectable in nonmucoid strains. Mobility shift and Western blot assays revealed that algZ expression requires the sigma factor AlgT. The mapped algZ transcription start site revealed a consensus AlgT-dependent promoter that, when mutated, substantially reduced algZ transcription.
